How to Use a Chafing Dish (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from How to Use a Chafing Dish

An alcohol filler is a great convenience, and removes the danger that is always attended with filling a lamp from a bottle. Place the chafing dish on the tray, on the table before the host or hostess, as the occa sion may demand. At serving time put all the necessary materials that must be meas ured with a spoon on the right-hand side, also the butter, with an oyster fork or butter pick. The milk, cream, stock or water should be measured and put into little pitchers on the left. On the tray place a teaspoon and tablespoon for measuring, a long chafing dish spoon for the cooking, and a silver serving spoon. Perfect arrangement saves much time and confusion, and makes chafing dish cooking a pleasure. See that the lamp is filled and the matches at hand before you are seated.

Excerpt from How to Use a Chafing Dish

The chafing dish is generally looked upon as a luxury, and its use as a passing fad. With a more intimate knowledge of its capabilities, this idea will vanish. In the one item of domestic economy - made-over dishes - its value is unquestioned, and should place it among the necessary utensils of the household. The fact that there is no necessity for lighting the lamp until the last moment, and that it can be extinguished as soon as the materials are cooked, is a great factor in its favor, and makes alcohol really a cheap fuel. The left-overs of beef, mutton, chicken or duck may be converted in a few minutes into the most dainty sorts of viands. To the housewife, who keeps but one maid, it is indeed a helping hand. The Monday lunch or supper is quickly gotten without the use of stove or kitchen; and so again on maid's day out, the Sunday night supper, and the still more fashionable twelve o'clock Sunday breakfast.
